Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, a member of the feminist punk band, Pussy Riot, gestures at a district court from behind bars in Zubova Polyana 440 km southeast of Moscow in Russia's province of Mordovia, Friday, April 26, 2013. Tolokonnikova was denied parole on Friday from the penal colony where she is serving a two-year sentence on charges of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred.
Tolokonnikova, who was arrested in March 2012 along with two other members of the band for their "punk prayer" protest against Vladimir Putin in Moscow's main cathedral, had been eligible for early release after serving half of her sentence. The Associated Press reports that the judge in the case, Judge Lidiya Yakovleva, said that evidence demonstrated that Tolokonnikova did not deserve parole because she had "not always followed the rules of behavior" during her incarceration. less
